[TrAb]

[TSITuner4Lyfe69]

[nfernotalon]

GENIUS!

 

[95GSXBLUR]

did anyone else notice in the last pic that the boost controller isn't even connected to anything?

 

[1bad91tsi]

look at the damn fog light lenses!they are melted!The turnsignals are so foggy and the console is half missing.If that guy ran 25 psi on the stock inj then there is some milky coolant forsure!

$500 car tops!

 

[nfernotalon]

I think they would have to pay me so that I would take it..

 

[turboglenn]

For 760 bucks the AWD parts could be turned around and sold seperately as well as the engine if the car is not in good enough shape for you to drive. You could always think of it that way.


And for the 25 PSI... my ass he ran that, that's jsut tehre to fool some noob into saying "it runs 25 pounds, WOW, i gotta buy it for that price!"

 

[spyderturbo007]

Looks like it has at least one broken exhaust manifold to head stud too. You can see it missing in the last picture.

 

[Re4peR26]

Its a dust sleeper!!!

 

[TrAb]

Its a VERY VERY good sleeper apparently...

And typo's: SELLER RESERVES THE WRIGHT TO END THE AUCTION AT ANY TIME DUE TO LOCALL SALE.

 

[Turboeagletalon]

they fuel cut at 17 to 20. plus i didn't see a boost gauge in the car

 

[-TunedDSM-]

Looks like a good 6 bolt swap donor car, thats about it. I'm sure the reserve is somewhere above $2k.

 

[meliketoball]

The body of the car is nasty.

 

[DSMsOwnYourV8]

That car will most likely be nothing but problems. If he did run 25psi, I bet that engine is about to blow up.

 

[Twistaye]

He means 2.5 psi, and he says you should still back it down a bit !! Def pass n wait for another, just wait, you'll get the right one soon^^

 

[2gntrbo]

HAHAHAHA i seen this the other day i couldnt stop laughing. they have spell check for a reason. he just put 25psi to try to get some ricer to buy it. keep looking youll find one

 

[MountainDew]

I wouldn't pay anymore then $1500 for it personally. Looks pretty run down.

 

[JMiller]

For one the car deosn't seem to have a boost gauge, so how do they know its at 25psi. Also the boost controller inst even hooked up! I say wait for something else.

You'd be better off to by a shell and start from scratch than by this car. You'll spend more time fixing it than upgrading it. I learned the hard way. Find one in good shape with few mods, or by one with a lot of mods and a blown motor and get it rebuilt.

Agreed. If you have the tools and the know-how, then I'd say make an offer on it. If you've never worked with DSMs before, then STAY THE HELL AWAY!
